SOME DAY.
Some day I shall be dead;
Ca lor %h,. t,~al Lool

Some day shall be dead;
Some day this tired head,
With all the anxious thoughts it now doth
know,
Shall be laid low.
This body. pain-racked, i'll,
Shall lie at length, and still,
Under the clover and the wind-swept grass,
Nor hear you pass.
That were indeed strange sleep:
When-even you-might weep
And come and go-even you-unheard of me
As bird or bee!
Nay, sweetheart, nay!-believe
There is no cause to grieve;
One SO wayworn, so sore oppreSt,
Is glad to rest.
Perchance when that release
Hath wrought its spell Of peace,
Ger this unquiet heart long vex'd with woe
Hearts-eaSe may grow.
Who lows me will not weep
When that lie asleep,
But rather joy to think such sorrow may
Have end some day.

Observations Oh the Horse.

An old cavalryman says that horse
will never step on man Intentionally:
1t is a standing order with cavalry that
should a man become dismounted ne
must lie down and be perfectly still. If
he does so the entire company will pass
over him, and he will not be injured. A
horse notices where he is going, ana Is
on the look out for a firm foundation to
put his foot on. 1t is an instinct with
him, therefore, to step over prostrate
man. The injuries caused by runaway.
horse are nearly always inflicted by the
animal knocking people down, and not
by stepping on them.

Minerals in China.

The coal beds of China are five times
as large as those of all Europe, while
gold, silver, lead, tin, copper, iron, mar.
Die, and petroleum are all found in the
greatest abundance. Owing to the preju-
dice of the people the mines have never
been worked to any great extent, it being
the popular belief in China that if these
mines are opened thousands of demons
and spirits imprisoned in the earth would
come forth and fill the country with war

Throwing the Old Slipper.

Throwing an old slipper after a bride
and bridegroom when starting on their
honeymoon is supposed to have taken its
origin from a Jewish custom, and signi-
fes the obedience of the wife as well as
the supremacy of the husband. A shoe
is thrown for luck on other occasions be-
sides marriage. Ben johnson says:
"Hurl after me an old shoe
I'll be merry, whatever do"
It is related that many years ago, when
lotteries were permitted, the custom Of
throwing a shoe taken from the left foot
after persons was practiced for good
luck. This custom has existed in Norfolk
and other counties from time i'm
memorial, not only at weddings, but
on all occasions where good luck
is required. A cattle dealer re-
quired his wife to "trull her left
shoe after him. when he started
for Norwich to purchase lottery ticket.
As he drove off on his errand he looked
round to see if his wife had performed
the charm, and received the shoe in his
face with such force as to black his eyes.
He went and bought his ticket, which
turned up prize OF six hundred pounds,
and he always attributed his luck to the
extra dose of shoe which he got. The
custom as it originally existed is dying
out, for, whereas our forefathers threw
old shoes after the wedding eauipage,
we, in this more luxurious age, purchase
new white satin slippers for the purpose.
The origin of this custom may be traced
from the words in Psalm cviii., "Over
Edom will cast out my SHOE" meaning
thereby that success should attend the
methods used to subdue the Edomites.
1t is not unlikely, therefore, that super
stitious custom has arisen from this con-
struction of these words.-AH the Year

wOmEN,s NOBLE WORK.

Great Opportunities Open to Women
of Wealth and Education.
Our relations as regards the lower classes
need thorough overhauling and readjust-
ment, said Mrs. Thurman j. Backus in a
recent address to women in Brooklyn, NY.
Misunderstanding between employer and
employee are constantly arising. We see al
coholism, socialism and anarchy gradually
imbruiting the spirits of our lower classes,
with nervous debility poverty of blood, the
blind greed of gain. and Short-Sighted indif
ference to moral and political responsibility
are depicting the powers with which free
born Americans should resist them. We
cannot excuse ourselves on the plea of ina
bility to begin this great work of philan-
thropic regeneration. 1t has already been
inaugurated here and there by noble men
and women, wiser than their time, who
have risked for its sake their capital and
their reputation for business sagacity. L
wish could tell you the details concerning
the improved tenement-houses erected in
Brooklyn in 1877, in the construction of
which are observed every written and un-
written law for the safety. comfort and
moral purity of their inmates. They are filled

the burden of crime emanating from hun
dredS of other common tenement houses,
the property of reputable citizens, but where
filth, degradation, crime and death abound.
If | could tell you OF the noble work per-
formed by the ladies of New DIRK in an or
ganization known as the Health Protective
association you would not underestimate
the value of the good work they have done
on the east side of the city among the tene
ment houses. 1t is estimated that the
saving to the United States in year
through measures taken for the prevention
of the spread of contagious diseases is about
$500. 900, 900. The work of sanitary science
clubs among our college graduates seems as
necessary in our present state of public
ignorance as is the influx of oxygen into a
gymnasium. To us as educated women. as
representatives of enlightened thought,
kindly concessions are made everywhere.

of our youth and small numbers. The re-
forms which we may assist are like the
great labor-saving inventlonS-the cotton

results recommend them. 1t will be the
fault of the indiscreet, the too timid indi-
vidual. if college-bred women do not make
themselves strong factor in that great

banishing ignorance, thriftlessness, avarice,

are always golden, and always directed to
making her loyal, loving wife.
If there is any fault in most households
it is the fault of the husband, not of the
mother-in. law. Let us givea much maligned
but generally noble and sef-sacrlficing
woman her just DUE and place the blame,
if any there be. ON the shoulders of the man,
who is really the SHINING one. And let us
have surcease from the everlasting flow OF
pointless jokes and cruel stabs at the ex-
pense of the mother-in-law. She does not
deserve them. The man who loves and
honors his wife as husband should must
respect and honor the author of her being.
Heaven bless the mother-in-law, say we!
